58 TopicsMonitoring multiple Orbi networks
I monitor multiple Orbi networks with the iPhone app, one local and one remote. When I get an alert, it’s not always obvious which network it came from. It would be very helpful if the router hostname were displayed on the app’s main screen and in alerts and reports that are sent to the app. Does anyone else think this would be useful?Need equipment recommendation
I was running Luxul APs and a Luxul router. I had 3 failed APs in 2 years and wasn’t really happy with them anymore so I switched to Insight WAX615 APs (I have 4) and a GS305EPP switch. I didn’t need the switch with Luxul as the APs worked with my router. I am now growing tired of my Luxul router. I really like the Insight interface so I would like a router that uses the same interface. I also don’t need/want WiFi built into the router. The router sits in one end of the basement, thus the APs. I will still use the 4 port switch so I only need 4 ports on the router, if that is a factor. I am looking to spend about $200ish. What do you recommend?898Views0likes2CommentsHow to add 2 WAX630E AP's to my Network
I have the CR1000A Router with 1 gig fios internet service. I want to use just my two Netgear Access Points this way I can have seamless transitions between the access points (1 upstairs and 1 downstairs). Do I need to put my Route in "bridge mode"? What needs to be done to make this work?956Views0likes2CommentsWAX214 - Connect Scanner Using WPS
Hi! Newbie problem: Just bought a Brother DS-940DW wireless document scanner and would like to connect it to the home LAN via the WAX214 access point so that all computers can use it via the network. (We actually have 2 WAX214's in different parts of the house with the same SSID and password so that devices can connect to the stronger signal). The scanner's instructions talk about pressing the WPS button to connect. But the WAX214 has no WPs button. I was hoping that this could be achieved via the web interface instead, but it doesn't look like it. As a workaround, I have enabled the wireless on the Zyxel fibre modem/router and connected the scanner to that using the WPS feature, and it seems to work. However, I don't want to enable the wireless on the router in the long term. The scanner has its own SSID and password for connecting to things like tablets or cell phones but I can't see how that can be used? Can anyone suggest a workaround? For example, what would happen if I configured the wireless on the Zyxel router to have the same SSID and password as the Netgear access points - would that mess up my network? If not, could I reconfigure the scanner using WPS with the router's new SSID, then switch off the wireless on the router? I'll try phoning Brother when their support desk opens, but thought I would try Netgear community first since there are some big brains out there!

Because the Verizon gateway's wifi is garbage, I opted to get the Netgear WAX202. When I connected it it was able to detect the internet through the gateway and configure itself just fine. I was able to log into the gateway via 192.168.0.1 just fine and was actually logged into both the gateway and router at the same time while setting them up. But I think after I set the gateway to passthrough mode, I lost the ability to log into the gateway as it's now coming up as unreachable. Is there an advanced setting in the router that'll allow me to log into the gateway?1.3KViews0likes2CommentsReadyNAS 4220X
I came across a 4220X that someone was selling, for dirt cheap. Basically paid near nothing for it. It works, pretty well honestly, for as "old" as it is. However, I'm learning that this thing is very limited, in that the OS all sits on 256MB of flash on the mobo. I've dug around and can't seem to find any real technical information on the motherboard. My thought is, ditch the current MOBO, and go with something else, turning this NAS into a server. Not sure if anyone here has seen anything like this done? I figured I'd start here first, prior to going to another sub. If i could just get docker to work on it, i'd be fine.. but I cannot get teh apps menu to show up. It's blank.GS308P DC Barrel Connector Size
Hi there, Does anyone know the size of the barrel connector on the GS308P Router? I need to add a right angle adapter to the end of the connector, and I’ve tried both 5.5mm x 2.1mm and 5.5mm x 2.5mm and both are too small. I’m hoping someone has the official size as it’s not listed in the specs anywhere.Help with Inter-VLAN Routing on New XS728T
Hi all I am hoping for some advice We are replacing our current GS724Tv3 with XS724T We are downsizing from 3 to 2 I have been tasked with configuring the new two I am having some difficulty with the inter-Vlan traffic and was hoping for some guidnace or advice. A small breakdown of our networks We are a webHosting Company and have many clients. The Two new Switches will be our main Core Switches We have basically 3 Egress options for the internet. We have Unfiltered(direct internet connection) VLAN1 We then feed to a DDOS system and back into the switches as a Filtered Network VLAN2 This i have working fine. My issue comes with our backup internet line. Currently sitting in vlan1 and being monitored and managed via a proxy system the ISP controls. I need to feed VLAN2 from this connection if the main line goes down bringing the ddos line down. How would i setup the inter-vlan routing for this case?WAX610 firmware check not working
I bought this WAP a couple of years ago. I was always able to click check for update and it would find one if available. I got notice that there was an update, and I waited for the requisite 2 days before checking for non subscribers to insight. It didn't find anything. Today, I looked at the Netgear site and the update was available for download there. So now the upgrade check feature isn't working anymore. Is that feature now only for insight subscribers as well? Is anyone else seeing this?954Views0likes3Comments
